My nearest sea is about three miles away so I go there often "just to see the sea" as we used to say as children. Torcross is very small, and tucked away behind its sea wall, but I go there often just to see the sea.
The challenge, if you take photos, is to look and to see what you can see that you haven't seen before. This may be a new angle or a different light, new shadows making new shapes, in an effort to notice something you haven't noticed before.
In this case I was given a great gift of a very low tide, so low that it was possible to walk around the rocks at the end of the beach and emerge on the beach next door, which is very rarely reached this way. After recent very heavy rain, the river that outflows from the Slapton Lea was a raging torrent. So here is a simple set of photos showing water and its effects, with a tiny fishing boat thrown in for free, which if you look closely, you will see is followed by a flock of gulls.
